Q5: Hopefulness
What is your story of hopefulness (not your own) about a person, business or non-profit who are doing amazing things for the world?
Possible Futures is a collection of folks based in the global south who are providing content and guidance around what it really looks like to break out of colonial patterns, these broken narratives that serve the current sustainable development world that serve the current mainstream business and industry model. Step out of those and see what it looks like to end the harmful models. I am in awe. Of what Possible Futures is doing and I'm very grateful for their dogged determination. Even when it's abrasive and difficult to allow in, I think it is some of the most hopeful, promising and frankly, necessary work out there.
